RE: Tree Lounge
The basic, original, TreeLounge with bow adapter foot platform weighs 45 pounds. The weight is perfectly distrubuted, but it is heavy!
It is also more difficult to use than most climbers, especially coming down the tree (the long heavy length can throw you off balance...pull the extension in towards the tree as close as possible), so be sure to practice with it in the offseason. Also, IMO, it is not the best stand to bow hunt from.
That being said, it is my preferred stand to use during the rut, where I will hunt from before daylight to hard dark. It is absolutely comfortable, roomy, stable. The TreeLounge is thebest, non-permanent, gun stand I have used.
PS-I always use an independent safety systemand its integrated one.
